Did you know it’s National Yo-Yo Day? While I’m quite sure the day is supposed to be about the yo-yo we played with as a child, I can’t help but think of the little fabric circles when yo-yos are mentioned!

Fabric yo-yos first gained popularity with sewists a hundred years ago, in the early 1900s. Since then they’ve seen several revivals and continued adoration for their versatility and nostalgic charm.
